AgrigentoLinosa.
Sparsely populated in Roman and later in Arab times, Linosa probably served as a supply station for ships engaged in the slave trade. When the Govemor Bemardo Maria Sanvisente landed on the island with a following of 40 persons in 1845 with the intention of founding a colony also here, he found it uninhabited, but with clear signs of previous settlements, such as Roman water-tanks, Arab traces and other signs.
